The AJA KONA IP25 delivers the power, quality, reliability, and ease of use of the KONA family to support your transitions from SDI to SMPTE ST 2110 workflows. The KONA IP25 is an 8-lane PCIe Gen 4.0, SMPTE ST 2110 IP I/O card supporting bidirectional uncompressed video. KONA IP25 has two SFP cages that support 10 and 25 Gigabit Ethernet (10/25 GigE) SFPs and also includes a 1 GigE RJ-45 connector.
Please Note: SFPs not Included
The KONA IP25 is your complete solution for SMPTE ST 2110 processing with onboard PTP and NMOS control. To your computer, the KONA IP25 appears as any other KONA card which carries the control load, so it's not placed on the host PC. ST 2110 Configuration and Control is supported by both In-Band (media network via SFPs) and Out-of-Band (control network via RJ-45).
On the desktop, KONA IP25 transparently supports Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Avid Media Composer, AJA Control Room, OBS, and other leading editorial, effects, and production tools via AJA's robust and feature-rich Desktop Software.
For creative users, the operational experience of using your favorite creative tool remains unchanged, and with AJA Control Panel additions to set up capture and playout, you are assured to have a seamless expansion into ST 2110.
For Developers, the same AJA SDK used for baseband KONA I/O cards is also used for KONA IP25, offering an easy way to develop applications and create systems for SMPTE ST 2110 workflows.
Wide Software Compatibility
AJA's powerful drivers and the AJA Desktop Software suite ensure KONA IP25 supports the widest range of creative and workflow applications - the tools you use every day to get your work done. KONA IP 25 supports leading NLE, compositing, and streaming applications via our industry's best plug-ins and the AJA software you rely on, including AJA Control Room, a standalone application for capture and playout, and AJA Control Panel for I/O configuration and control.
Throughput
All SMPTE ST 2110 configuration, control, and timing functions (NMOS and PTPv2) are handled on the KONA IP25, independent of the host computer with configuration and control options for either In-Band (media network via SFPs) or Out-of-Band (control network via RJ-45) capability.
NMOS enables discovery, registration, and control within software defined video networking environments via IS-04 and IS-05.
HDR NLE/VFX Software Support
Desktop Software supports HDR across many third-party professional video software applications, including Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, and Avid Media Composer.
